I've used others... this one is very nice, and plenty generous.
I've used Frame, Screenlight, and Wipster... I was even a brand ambassador for one of them. Even still, I've been on the hunt for a replacement. I let a previous AppSumo offering slip away because I wasn't thrilled about it, and I maybe I'm jaded but that almost led me to not give Niimblr a second look. I mean, that name is worth at least half a taco deduction, right?
It would have been a mistake to let this pass by.
I was up and running with three codes in a matter of minutes. I grabbed some of my old client work and tested it out. The functionality met or exceeded what I ever experienced with the other tools. I even logged back into some of the old tools to remind myself of the experience. Frankly, Niimblr has a better UI than most of the tools. Uploads are pretty zippy, and I (mostly) like how drawing tools are handled even over videos... which says a lot!
If you do client work with content assets (images, 3D, video, etc.) you need one of these tools. Pick which one, pick how much you want to pay, and use it... you need these. But Niimblr makes a very good case with this LTD as to why you should pick them. Good functionality, good price, generous specs. (Hey, I always want more, too... but there's a limit to all things.)
Speaking of... tools like Niimblr are asset review tools. They're not for long term archiving and storage. Yes, you can archive your projects and I've done that a time or two elsewhere before setting up a better storage solution (NAS with cloud backup, in case you want a tip) for video storage, but this tool is for when your team/editor thinks they're ready to go with a file and those approvals are needed.
You upload the asset, get the approvals, identify and put the asset on a revision workflow if needed, and then off it goes. These sites are more like forks of the content in your FINAL_NOREALLY_ACTUALLYFINALTHISTIME folder to get the approvals rather than video storage.
If you work with a Audio/Video/3D/Graphics team, or have clients that receive these assets, this is the place to get those assets seen, reviewed, commented upon, etc. And to have the papertrail of what was signed off on and what wasn't.
If you work with assets and aren't solo... get this.

Thank you for this very candid and thorough review.
Your past experience with other tools and the approval process in general shines through, which makes your 5 star rating even more appreciated 🙏
Since we are always trying to improve, I would love to get your specific feedback about what's needed for video-drawing to hit bullseye.
If you are up for it, shoot us a mail at support@niimblr.com and we will pick up the conversation from there, either as a meeting or in mails, whichever you prefer 🤛
Thank you once more for taking the time to leave a review.
